Medical School and health care delivery across Michigan Medicine.He hasimplemented transformative change and has positioned us for continued success andsocietal impact, including expansion of Michigan Medicine’s clinical network in ourstate, the launch of research initiatives such as Precision Health and MichiganMedicine’s first strategic plan for diversity, equity and inclusion.

Hesaid, “The recommendation follows a thorough and competitive national search, whichreflected the outstanding strengths of the campus; its community members; and itsstanding as a leader in access to education and service to the region.Professor Dutta brings a lifetime of academic leadership experience andaccomplishment to the Flint campus.

increase resources in Flint and Dearborn. We continue to be disappointed in the state'schronic underfunding of higher education. This is our primary theme in discussionswith legislators. The state can and should do more for its rising generation. While eachcampus values its independence for the ability it gives Ann Arbor, Flint and Dearbornto tailor programs to their own priorities, we are continuing to examine these issues.”President Schlissel congratulated students and other campus partners committedto sustainability who set a record during Move-Out of more than 12.5 tons of clothing,bedding, household goods and food donated to local organizations.
